A CONFESSED DONKEY.

CATER being four years United
States Senator, through the kind
ness OF Senator Malone, Senator
Rlddleberger has succeeded in
changing Shenandoah from a solid
Republican county with three hun
dred majority to Democratic ma
jority of about the same. So much
for kickers -
The above is from that prodigy
of a paper called the State RepnbH.

of Malone Or was it by the APP

confirmation by the Senate?
RiddIeberger did more for Gen.
Malone than has ever been recipro-
Gated. and more for the Republi-
can party than all the pulpitless
cranks that ever snapped Christ

into printers INK with which to
bear false witness against his
neighbOr. That RiddleOerger has
not given Jealous support to every
Republican ticket since his advent

ing for other candidates than any
Republican in the State, while the
proprietor OF the Republican has
served his party and his State by
standing around court house fronts

to four pages without correspond

If YOU want to find kickers, go
look in the mirror and see the
kicker who aided in the defeat of a
Republican for county clerk of
Rockingham last spring. Or look
to yOur master, by whose "kind'

your confession, for if he could

certainly could a school superinten.

dividuals in this county and Page,
calling a convention at Luray in
plain violation Of the plan OF or
ganizatiOn which a convention
delegated him to carry out, and by
which action he put club in the
hands of the opposition in this
county with which to pound out
the 800 majority. Then couple
yourselves together and go on ex-
hibitiOn at country fairs as the
greatest of all "kickers,' living or
dead.
But there are some bipeds who
prefer the role of an ass to that OF
a man, and where tastes run in
that direction we should deal
gently with them.

The best way for any party to
recover lost ground is to look for
the cause, and, having found it,
apply the proper remedy though it

THE FIRE REcoKD..A
Fire at Chetops, Kan.

!
Special to the Gazette.
VINITA, l. T., Feb. IA very serious
f-e occurred at Chetopa, Kan, this morn
ing. At S O'Clock TWO loud explosions
aroused the town, and when the throns
arrived on the scene the fine brick block
on the corner of Fourth and Maple streets
with its contents, was beyond hope. The
entire west wall was blown out by the
second explosion. The adjoining build
Ing on the west was also consumed.
1t was bitter cold morning, the ther-
mometer standing at 15' above zero. An
proximately divided, the loss is as fol-
lows:
Bedeu Bros, hardware and wholesale
grocers, on building and stock, SIS, 600
above insurance.
Neosho Valley Investment Company.
$500; no insurance.
R. c. TAYLOR, $500 in building; goods
all moved but loss on same $500.
One thousand dollars worth Of glass
fronts on opposite side Of street were
ruined.
Other parties lost from 5000 to S7oo
each, in most cases uninsured.
The origin of the fire and the cause of
the explosions are shrouded in mystery as
the proprietors all say there were no ex-
plosives in the building sufficient to pro-
duce the effects shown.

A MASSACRE IN AFGHAEIsTAN.
BOMBAY, Feb. 1.-The Durani Afghan
tribe, melted by the Governor of Cspds-
hsr, recently attacked fort between
the Pishin and khojak range of noun
tains 10 Afghanistan. The intention was
to kill the British political officer and en-
gineer in charge of the construction of
the railroad from Quetta towards Canda-
har. The route lies through the Khojak
pass. The Duranis expected to find the
British officials at the fort. 1t happened,
however, that both were absent at the
time of the attack. The Duranis nassa-
cred the Khan and 100 coolies. Since
the commencement of work on that sec
ton of the railway between Culisman
and Chaman Chauki at the head of the
Khojak Pass, the Governor of Candahar
has ordered that everybody from Quetta
shall find security for his future be hayior.
The Ameer of Afghsnistan has appointed
several khans at Chaman Chauki to pre-
vent the Duranls from intriguing against
the British. 1t is believed that If any at
tempt is made to continue the construc
ton of the railway beyond Chaman
Chauki, it will meet with dangerous
opposition from the natives. A great !
number of the Ameer's troops persisted |
from cold while engaged in pursuit of the
Ghilzai rebels. The Ghilzai chief, Zuyder |
Kshn, has written to AyoUb Kahn Che /

Some Newspaper Paragraphs and Personal
Gossip Answered by n Few Raps

Special to the Gazette.

! Special to the Gazette.
| AUSTIN, TEX, Feb. 1.-Some excite.
ment and amusement was caused late in
the afternoon by fight in the Driskill
hotel between Barney Gibbs and Mr..
Bennett, business manager of the Even.
| ing Call. In that sheet this evening ap;
peared an editorial paragraph abiding to
the time Gibbs went on TO Washington
last year and is alleged to have
prepared sundry bills for Reagan
to introduce in the House. The
paragraph stated that when Senator Rea-
gan was told of the rumor in Washington
ne merely alluded to Mr.. Gibbs as the
monumental liar of Texas. This evening
Mr.. Gibbs wrath was kindled against the
editor, and taking cane he SCI out to
hunt him up. He found him at the
Driskill. The interview began by Mr..
Gibbs intimating that the editor was de-
scendant of Ananias, or words to that
effect, at which same time he lightly tap
ped on B nnett's Uranium as if to test his
skull. The editor not fsncying thIs, haul
ed back with his own stick aud dealt the
ex-Lleutenant-Governo vigorous blow.
Then the ball opened and the Dallas poll
tician was seemingly getting the better of
the quill-driVer when bystanders inter-
fered and stopped further proceed
ings. Gibbs, who left tonight for
his home in Dallas, stated to
friend before leaving that it was not so
much the publication of the paragraphs
in the Call hat incensed him as the fact
that Bennett stated to Ex-Governor Ire
land and to friends of that gentleman
yesterday that Gibbs had sold him out
to the Reagan forces. Gibbs
has been devoted and con-
sistent friend of Ex-Governor Ireland
and charge of disl yalty was rasping to
him, and was intensified by the perso al
circulation Of the charge which he claims
that Bennett made. Gibbs SAID further
that he had committed himself to Ireland
long before Reagan was announced, and
he kept his compact so long as there was
q living chance for Ireland to win. When
he saw that 1t was impossible
to secure his election he did
not believe it was right to longer continue
to fight the manifest choice of the LPgis-
l4ture. Gibbs in the conversation said
that so long as he was public officer he
was content to pass unnoticed all uu-
fri -ndly criticisms upon him, but now
that he was merely q private citizen he
to defend himself as would any
other man. 20

BELLIGERENT KANUCKS.
Preparations Making Throughout Lower
Canada in Expectation of War.

I'M NAN ARMS.
BUFFALO, N. Y, Feb. 1.-The discus.
sion of the retaliation bill by Congress
has apparently stirred up the residents OF
the Dominion of Canada. Members OF
the Dufferin Guards of the Eighth regi-
ment, VOLUNTEER military organization
now in the city, regarding the prepare
lions being made throughout Lower Can
ada in expectation Of war being declared,
said that few days ago every pensioner
OF the imperial service were ordered IN
der arms to be ready to move to the
front at moments notice. At Braut-
ford there are loco veterans drilling
daily. At Hamilton there are coo, and at
various places throughout Lower Cans Ids
there are enough men to furnish q stand
ing army of 5000 at an hours notice. The
excitement Is great throughout all of
Lower Canada.
The importance of the order to hold
the pensioners ready will be appreciated
when it is known that the order came
from London. The peculiarly exposed
situation OF Buffalo has created great
deal of Interest here as to the outcome of
the fisheries disputes. Among sailors
the feeling is intense, the ma diff
ticulties they have to encoun-
ter on the lakes in dealing with
vessels wrecked on the Canadian shore
making them anxious to aid in bringing
Canada to terms. A trip through the
eastern part of this city along tn water
fronts shows that strong feeling is
cherished. Many of the veterans are in
readiness to volunteer in case their aid
Is necessary, but nothing will he done by

tackled Saati January % last. hotl,
fought battle ensued. 1t lasted three
hours, and the army of Kassalula was re-
pulsed. The Italian loss was trifiing
and that of the Abyssinlan:
was unknown. The next day
three companies OF Italians
tro ps left Monklu to supply provi
sions to Saati when the Abyssinians
again made an attack and a desperate
battle was Waged. The Abyssiniaps
were defeated and the Italian troops were
simply annihilsted. But ninety of the
wounded reached Massowan after
the battle. This statement made
profound sensation in the chamber
Premier Depretis then added that the
Italian commander recalled the troops
from the advance and concentrated them
at Mas owah.
The Radicals laughed ironically at
this.
The government now pror osed a blfl
for an appropriation of $1,000, 900 with
which to send the Italians reiniorcements
at Mass owah. The chamber at
once approved the bill By
an almost unanimous vote.
Some of the Radicals having cheered sar-
castically in sllusion to the valor of the
Abyssinian troops the whole house
rose and cheered the government.
The Radicals cried uut: ave must
retire" and the majority rejoined with
cries Of "never, ye cowards," etc. The
city tonight is in high state Of excite
ment, bordering on frenzy over the news
from the Soudan.

text to enable Great Britain to seize the

tests against Egypts paying for this,
which he declares Is the sole object of
the expedition. He maintains that Emir
Bey is perfectly safe. Stanley ridicules
